01 — Why we're here

A place to be welcomed. A place to begin again.

The Healing Center is a Christ-centered ministry in Licking, Missouri, welcoming people into prayer, fellowship, encouragement, and a continuing walk with Jesus Christ.

Through shared gatherings, retreats, discipleship, and opportunities for restoration, our hope is that people find more than a moment of relief—they find community for the journey ahead.

“Come as you are. You don't have to walk alone.”

02 — Our beginnings

Every place has a story.

The Healing Center is rooted in a desire to welcome people into a continuing walk with Christ. Its ministry brings together prayer, fellowship, discipleship, and opportunities for restoration—not as isolated moments, but as parts of a journey shared with others.

A recurring dream of a stone fireplace is part of the beginnings of The Healing Center. It speaks to the warmth, welcome, and fellowship that shape this ministry. But some stories are best shared face to face. We invite you to visit, meet Paul and Haley, and hear more about the journey that brought The Healing Center to life.

03 — The people who welcome you
